SECTION 4. The Town Clerk upon receipt of said assessment shall forthwith make a copy of the same and deliver it to the Finance Director in his capacity as Town Treasurer, who shall forthwith issue and affix to said copy a warrant under his hand, directed to the Collector of Taxes of the several sums of money therein expressed, of the persons and estates liable therefore.
SECTION 5. Said tax shall be due and payable on and between the first day and thirty¬first day of August, A.D. 2013 and all taxes remaining unpaid on the thirty-first day of August, A.D. 2013 shall bear interest from and after said first day of August A.D. 2013 and until collected, at the rate of twelve (12) per cent per annum, and all taxes and interest in addition to taxes shall be paid to the Town Treasurer immediately after the receipt thereof. Said tax may be paid in installments, the first installment of twenty-five (25) per centum on or before the thirty¬first day of August, A.D. 2013 and the remaining installments as follows: twenty-five (25) per centum on or before the thirtieth day of November, A.D. 2013; twenty-five (25) per centum on
